Overview

You can experience indigo dyeing, a traditional Japanese dyeing technique. Indigo dyeing is a dyeing technique that was widely used in Japan during the Edo period. You can dye an item of your choice weighing about 200g. In addition to dyeing, you can also dye it using the tie-dyeing technique, in which parts of the fabric are tied with thread to create a pattern. By tie-dyeing, you can create an item that is one of a kind in the world. The craftsmen in the studio will support you, so anyone can enjoy it. Please come and experience Japan's traditional crafts. If you do not have something to dye, you can purchase T-shirts or tote bags at the store. Please contact us in advance if you would like to buy something to dye at the store.

Itinerary

This is an indigo dyeing experience using Indian indigo. Indigo dyeing has been deeply rooted in the lives of Japanese people. In the samurai era, it was favored as an "auspicious color," and in the Meiji era, it was praised overseas as "Japan Blue," and was a color that symbolized Japan. Bring in about 200g of fabric, T-shirt, or other item you want to dye with indigo dye and dye it freely. (The weight of one T-shirt is approximately 200 grams.) Please note that the quality of the item you want to dye is limited to natural dyes such as cotton and linen. Items that can be dyed in the studio are also sold. Our staff will explain everything carefully, so beginners, children, and women can feel at ease! After the experience, you can take a break with a hot drink. If you do not have something to dye, you can purchase T-shirts or tote bags at the store. Please contact us in advance if you would like to buy something to dye at the store.
